Funny in Farsi

In this course you have read Firoozeh Dumas’ memoir Funny in Farsi in which she recounts with humor her experiences as an immigrant to the United States starting in the early 1970s. Her experiences focus on all the aspects of daily life and learning about a new culture that all newcomers to any new country would face.
Choose 2 of Firoozeh Dumas’ experiences and discuss how they are representative of a newcomer’s struggle to settle in a new country. The experiences must be from different parts of the book—different chapters.
You may use “I” in this essay, if you are going to make a comparison between your own experiences and Dumas’ experiences, but you may not use “I” for your entire discussion.
This is NOT a first person narrative or a story. You are writing an INFORMATIVE essay which is presented in third person [s/he/it/they].
Give concrete examples from Funny in Farsi to support your choice of experiences and your discussion.
1200-1500 words.
